Dortmanna Nuttallii

Dortmanna nuttallii is a rare and delicate flowering plant native to the coastal regions of the western United States. It thrives in moist, sandy soils and is often found in dune environments where it plays a vital role in stabilizing sand dunes. This plant is known for its small, white or pale pink flowers that bloom in the spring, adding a subtle beauty to its harsh habitat. Due to habitat loss and environmental changes, Dortmanna nuttallii is considered endangered and is the subject of conservation efforts. Its unique ecological niche makes it an important species for studying plant adaptation to coastal ecosystems.
